Poingurding the Hornets

I have heard a lot of comments on who will be the starter point guard for the Hornets next season, and in average it looks like most people think Vasquez will start for a while until rivers is ready and then Rivers will take over. As part of this opinion, it appears that most people think that Vasquez is a temporary solution. I get the feeling that people are too carried away with names and characters. To be honest, I think that if we could ask Monty he would answer that he does not know who will be the long term PG for the Hornets, and this season is basically an audition program for that position. Therefore, it is possible that Vasquez could become the long term PG of the team, if he surprises with a particularly solid first half of the season. It is also possible that he only does and OK job, and after the second half Rivers takes over. It is also possible that the future PG of the hornets is not yet in the team. What do you think?

This year should be treated as a total experiment. Monty needs to figure out which pieces work around his developing young core. We need to see if players like Vasquez and Aminu are the role players this team needs, or if they need to start looking elsewhere. The way I see it, Vasquez should start at PG to see how he works with Gordon and Davis, but Rivers should be given plenty of opportunities as well. This year won't end with a championship, so I think the important thing is finding out who you want to keep and which positions are in need of upgrading. My prediction is that PG will be one of those positions.
